I think you were perhaps talking about the presumptive clause, that if your boot was on the soil when agent orange was used and other lethal chemicals--dioxin-laced chemicals--you automatically got an ex gratia or you were paid. It's not like that here in Canada. They don't have the presumptive clause that presumes that if you're in the area when lethal spraying takes place you'll be compensated. That's the difference between Canada and the United States.
